InitStartError: Error communicating with wandb process

W&B Help
21

I tried to build a new conda environment with wandb, still, didn’t work. (wandb version 0.13.3)

Hi Tianyi,

Thanks for confirming that! I was wondering if, with the version that you had before updating (0.12.21), the code is still working or the same error is raising now. Also, are you using wandb.finish() in your code? Also, could you try to use 0.13.2 version in the new Conda environment?

Hi Luis,
I will try some releases before 0.12.21 and come back later. And I am using wandb.finish() as shown in the code from the very first question. I will also give 0.13.2 a try in the new Conda environment, but I suppose it won’t work.
Best wishes,
Tianyi

Hi Tianyi,

Thanks for your answer! Sorry, you’re completely right that you are using wandb.finish(), I didn’t remember! Please keep me updated with these new tries to check if the error is still occurring!

Hi Tianyi,

Thanks for confirming this and sorry that you are still experiencing the issue! Is it the 0.13.2 in the new Conda environment what hasn’t worked or also the 0.12.21?

Hi Tianyi,

Could you tell me what version of python and Conda are you using and your operate system? Also, if you specify 'entity' when using wandb.init(), is the error still raising?

Hi Luis,
I had my server’s OS reinstalled and I will try to run the code using the latest wandb release. Hope this will solve the problem. BTW, Sorry for the late response.

Hi Tianyi,

I just wanted to follow up here! Has the reinstallation solved the issue? If not, could you specify what version of python and Conda are you using? And also could you try specifying the 'entity' when running wandb.init() and check if the error is still appearing?

Best,
Luis

Hello,

Today I started to experience this issue out of the blue. I get:

wandb: ERROR Error communicating with wandb process
wandb: ERROR For more info see: https://docs.wandb.ai/library/init#init-start-error

I tried what is suggested in the link, without luck.

I would appreciate it if you can help me to solve this one.

Regards!

Hello,

I also ran into the same issue mentioned by @madog. My codes worked fine just 3 hours before, then suddenly experienced the network communication error. Offline mode works fine for me but I can’t sync online.

I would appreciate it if someone can help to resolve the issue.

Many thanks.
